THE FIRST SEMESTER
2 years and a month before
It was my first day at college and I came with my dad.it was raining heavily.we went to mega-hostel and I said to my dad:
Kabir-Papa,you wait in the guest house till I finish all the registration tasks.
Drenching in the rains,I finished all the work within an hour or two.i was standing in the queue for my room allotment process.there were many others in the queue and I was just staring them blankly.There was some guy standing a feet apart,small glasses on his thick cheeks,looking innocent,I went and stood beside him.
Kabir-Yar,will you share a room with me?He nodded positively which brought a smile on my face.he was none other than Ankit Purohit,my roomie for the first year.He is the most charming guy I have ever met.He knew what he had to do in life and how.He came with a strong mindset in MNNIT,simple yet full of passion.
Ankit-I will be back within a few minutes,if I don’t then get yourself room allotted with someone else.
I became a bit sad.
Kabir-Why?Would you not share room with me?Why are you going?
Ankit (laughing)-NO,I will be back instantly,there is one more friend from my school,I am bringing him here.
I waited for some time then he came with another guy.This guy was none other than Rahul Yadav.Tall,strong,full of hair,looking as a perfect engineer should look like. We were allotted room 426.We went there using a lift and made ourselves comfortable.Next day our parents left for their homes.When my dad left,I felt the beginning of a new life.i had never lived away from my home and this was one of the important moments of my life.2 or 3 days passed comfortably.
24 July,2012
It was our orientation programme.All of us were ready to see the college for the first time but that did not happen somehow due to rains.then we met a few other guys:
Daya Sagar,always lost in himself,thinks of doing something different,but there is one thing about him-he speaks way too much and we can call him a lost spirit,but he is so dedicated towards his work that he is liked by all.
Yatharth Dikshit,I have already told a
bit about him but let me tell something more.yes the guy is cool but he has ego or better say attitude.he is damn lucky,girls long to talk him I don’t understand why.
Ashutosh Kharwar,simple and hard working.he doesn’t care for the world and is always lost in himself.
It was raining heavily on 24th and we went to M.P.Hall in the college bus.
IT was my first day when I saw Tanya Mehrotra but I didn’t pay much attention.She looked different in the crowd but she was sitting quite far and I couldn’t get a good look.After the orientation,I reached my room and I haven’t told even my roommates till date that I was checking someone throughout the programme.
25th July,2012
I had my lecture at 9 am.I was allotted F group for lectures.i wake up early, had my breakfast and then went to classes in queue with the guards,yes the first year had to go in queue for 1 month in starting.
I was in a great hurry and I was ignorant of where the lecture hall was.i always walk very swiftly and I was passing by the Chemistry Department and as soon as I reached the Civil Department,i saw a man-fair,tall,bald, in blue jeans and white tees.I presumed he was some peon or some moron staff member roaming here and there.But he was S.K.Duggal,the Dean of the college.he looked so simple that anyone could be deceived and more easily on the first day of college.
Kabir-Have you seen where GL-6 is??GL-6?GL-6?(I was running out of breath and my voice was very loud)
The oldie frowned and held my hand.
S.K.Duggal-Do you know who you are talking to?
Kabir-Yes,why not.you must be some staff member of college.
The oldie frowned even more.
S.K.Duggal-first learn some manners otherwise I will hit you right now.I am the Dean of this college and you talk like this to the Dean,you stupid fellow.
Kabir(shivering)-Sorry sir,sorry sir,sorry…
S.K.Duggal-What sorry?......
